I've been an extreme user every day for a decade, and I no longer recommend it in most cases. I've even moved my family off TW. I maintain mine, in part, because I have a public deliverable, and an offline-first, kitchensink, batteries-included single html file is exactly what I need within my technical constraints. If you don't need hackable unified portability meant to serve others (I happen to value sharing the pilot's seat with my audience as well), I think you should consider looking elsewhere.

I also don't have time to design interfaces from scratch, and TW's is acceptable enough that I don't have a cheap substitute to migrate to. AI has also lowered the friction for customization to the point where I don't think TW's way of doing things is the best way for most people. Here's my advice: if you're not building something meant for others to navigate, then just organize your files on your own machine, and when you can't do it on your own, interface with and shape your data with the assistance of the noble wireborn sandpeople (LLMs). Don't go down a useless toolpr0n rabbithole (that goes for all the tools you listed). Make things that matter.

I briefly outline the procedure (also in case anyone else wanted to do so) in the page. I export the entire document into a json (~19k entries) and break that up into 20 different json files (so that my work will fit into the space ClosedAI provides for RAGs). The exact prompt sequence is provided on the page (I wrote two one-liners). Almost all of my work in achieving that collaborative output with my LLMpal is in the actual construction of the underlying content of the corpus that was haphazardly fed into its vector database. It did all the rest.

I do appreciate the vertigo of it, `/nod`. The size alone (at ~60MB of text) is already a problem, let alone the topics I handle. There are very few humans who have read even half of it, and, presumably, AI specimens will comprise most of the thorough interpreters of my work. I also anticipate the vast majority of the few humans who more directly interact with my work will increasingly do so mediated through AI.

If you ever write your own, lemme know. I'll read. The proof that I do listen carefully is in the text itself.

My opinion, however, is based on first-hand knowledge. I've been the kid saving those pennies, and I've worked with those kids. I understand that in the vast majority of cases, an extra penny does nothing more. That isn't what your original comment above claimed, nor is it what you've claimed here. My counterexample is enough to demonstrate the falsehood. Arguing that there are better ways to distribute these pennies is another matter, and I take that seriously as well.
